Abstract

Sweetened condensed contains high sugar which has a negative impact on the children’s health. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of sweetened condensed consumption and other factors on underweight among children under age five. A cross-sectional study was conducted in January–March 2019. A total of 122 children 0–59 months met inclusion criteria in Caringin Public Health Center area, Bogor district, Indonesia. Underweight is measured by anthropometry (weight-for-age based on WHO Child Growth Standards). Sweetened condensed consumption was assessed using the Food Formulir Questionnaire (FFQ). Most children consume sweetened condensed creamer more than 1 glass per day (80.3%), 22.1% underweight and 4.1% severe underweight. Multiple logistic regression analysis shows that sweetened condensed creamer consumption is the most dominant variable affecting underweight among children under age five (OR = 3.172; 1.011–9.958, 95% CI). Protein and energy consumption, drinking water treatment, and infectious diseases also significantly affecting underweight among children under five. Children who consumed sweetened condensed creamer more than 1 glass per day 3,172 times higher risk of underweight compared to children who consumed less than that amount. Supervision is indispensable to the policy implementation of restrictions on the sweetened condensed creamer consumption among children under age five.
